Frequently Asked Questions
No — it uses a simple 1-character-per-character count (input.length). X's real client applies special weighting (e.g., URLs always count as 23 characters, most non-Latin scripts count double), which this tool does not replicate.
If your post contains links, emoji, or non-Latin characters, X's own counting rules can produce a different total than this simple length count — treat this as a close estimate for plain text, not an exact match for every case.
The remaining count is clamped at 0 and won't go negative, so you can still see you're over the limit, just not by how much beyond zero.
No — counting happens entirely in your browser.
